Candice Huber & Jennifer Wilhelm on SARE Farmer Research Grants

Natalie here... and for this episode I want to talk farmer research! You may notice that research is a theme for me? SARE is a federally funded program for farmer centered research and innovation. Candice Huber works for SARE and Jennifer Wilhelm runs a no-till market garden near me in New Hampshire, Fat Peach Farm, and has received two SARE grants to pursue some of her ideas.
